ANALYSIS PAPER ABOUT JOSE BURGOS WAS FRAMED FOR THE CAVITE
MUTINY.
INTRODUCTION; Cavite Mutiny, (January 20, 1872), brief uprising of
200 Filipino troops and workers at the Cavite arsenal, which became
the excuse for Spanish repression of the embryonic Philippine
nationalist movement. Ironically, the harsh reaction of the Spanish
authorities served ultimately to promote the nationalist cause.

DISCCUSSION; Long side Fathers Mariano Gomez and Jacinto

Zamora, Burgos was arrested on false charges of sedition and
incitement of the Cavite Mutiny—a mutiny of 200 Filipino soldiers and
laborers in the town of Cavite—and executed in 1872.

By this time, Burgos had established a reputation as a defender of

the native clergy. His debates over the rights of native priests had
extended to include questions of race and nationalism. This
reputation would eventually cause him to be implicated in a
mutiny in Cavite.

The master mind of Cavite mutiny was One Franciscan friar

disguised as Father Burgos and suggested a mutiny to the
mutineers. The senior friars used an una fuerte suma de dinero or
a "large sum of money" to convince Governor-General Rafael de
Izquierdo that Burgos is the. that Burgos is the mastermind of the
coup.
n 1864, Fr. Jose Burgos issued a manifesto, “A La Nacion” (To
the Nation), to protest the injustices and land acquisition of the
Spanish friars. Part of the manifesto stated, “We know that, far
from the nation being sustained by the friars, it is they who are
sustained by the material force of the nation.

CONCLUSION;
The mutiny was quickly crushed, but the Spanish regime under
the reactionary governor Rafael de Izquierdo magnified the
incident and used it as an excuse to clamp down on those
Filipinos who had been calling for governmental reform. ... The
three subsequently became martyrs to the cause of Philippine
independence.
